What if the way we have solved our discomfort in the past is the cause of the current pain we are experiencing?
What if the way we have solved our discomfort in the past is the cause of the current pain we are experiencing?
We are stuck in our business.
We have made the same amount year after year.
No matter what we try, we still make the same last year as the year before.
Which examples below do we see ourselves?
1. We think the solution is we don’t know how to make more money, so we go gather more knowledge. Read another book, signup for another training, listen to another podcast or freebie. We still seem to create the same results year after year, which leaves us even more frustrated with all the knowledge.
2. We think the solution is to take more action. Suppose we doubled our marketing or sales calls. If we could have more eyeballs on our product or service, we would create more money. So we gather more knowledge on how to do that and take action, but it does not move the needle, and it leaves us overwhelmed with all the things to do.
3. We think the solution is working longer hours. If we just worked more hours, we would get more done and thus make more money. But the long hours only leave us exhausted and maybe even burnt out as self-care was replaced by working.
4. We think the solution is just working harder and becoming more productive. So we try to do more in less time. We create a long to-do list, sit down and knock them out, but no matter how many things we complete, the list does not get smaller as there are always things to add to the list.
5. We think the solution is to outsource or hire someone to do what we could not do. So we hire someone, and now there is a need to find the right candidate, hire them, train them and manage them, earn enough for our expenses and their wages, and all on top of what we are doing—leading to even more frustration, overwhelm, and exhaustion.
6. We think we are in the wrong industry and need to change industries. But have a hard time breaking into the new industry or become successful and experience the exact same emotions as the last industry, so our only solution is to change industries again; get a job, start another business, look for the latest and hottest products, or service to where people are killing it. We then start from scratch and feel overwhelmed and frustrated with all new things to learn and the same challenges.
The solution to all this is not what tradition teaches us but to manage the way we think and feel about them.
To see our current thoughts and beliefs and replace them with intentional thoughts that will have us look at the cause of the original problem in a new light.
Once we change our perception and thoughts, we can decide what to do from a clear place.
We have logical and creative ways of looking at the problem; we can organize the problem and the solution into a prioritized system that fuels more of the actions that will help us create more money in less time and energy.
I help my clients make more money without working longer and harder by creating a more effective solution to common problems.
Once my clients learn the simple system I teach, they take this system into other areas of their business and life and create more results.
